Please don’t judge!!

I’m pretty sure I reviewed all of the ARCs I have received. Actually, there may be one that I haven’t… My bad.

2. Have less than 60% feedback rating on NetGalley?

I haven’t been under 60% but I have crept under 80%…..but not for long.

3. Rated a book on Goodreads and promised a full review was to come on your blog (and never did)?

I usually only update books and rate it on Goodreads when my review is ready to be posted. However, when I first started Goodreads it was just a place I used to keep track of what I had read, so there are quite a few books that are just rated with no reviews.

4. Folded down the page of a book?

NEVER! I’m just kidding. When I was younger I did do it quite a bit. But not in many MANY years.

Oh wait a minute. My daughter (who was reading over my shoulder) reminded me I just did this yesterday. It was just a teeny tiny one though! I couldn’t find a bookmark. I think my bookmarks go to that place where missing socks go.

5. Skim read a book?

Not the entire book but I have skimmed parts. If it’s especially upsetting or extremely graphic or violent, I will sometime skim those parts.

6. DNF a book this year?

Not this year,

7. Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it?

No, though I have been tempted!

8. Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else?

Oh absolutely! Dinner is often late 🙂

9. Accidentally spilled on a book

Sadly, yes. Just a few months ago I tripped and dumped a glass of 7up on “Little Fires Everywhere”. I was very upset!

10. Completely missed your Goodreads goal?

Yes…two years in a row. I finally made it last year. Crossing my fingers that I make it this year too!!

11. Borrowed a book and not returned it?

Never! Yes, unfortunately, I have. But I have every intention of returning it….soon.

12. Broke a book buying ban?

Yep! I’m really not sure why I ever make them.

13. Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was about?

Yes, I have.

14. Wrote in a book you were reading?

Yes, but it was a very very long time ago.

15. Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads?

I usually try to do it right away but I have forgotten.

That was fun!

I’m not going to tag anybody specifically, but if you feel like doing this… Go for it! I’d love to read your responses!

I’m with Mischenko. This is a really fun tag, and I’m not certain that I’ve seen it before. Making a note of it for later in the week, maybe.

Oh no, you spilled on Little Fires Everywhere! I’d be crushed, too. Haven’t gotten to it yet, but I love Celeste Ng. She’s one of the authors I follow on Twitter. Love her.

The one exception for writing/marking in books is for school. Highlighting helps me know what to go back to, and I make certain marks on a page/section if I want to come back to it and write down my thoughts at the end of a study session. However, for literature courses, I buy a separate copy of any novels we’re assigned, a study copy, so to speak. I’d never mark up my own books.

If there is something I want to note or come back to, I use the camera on my phone to take a picture of the page. 😉

I agree that school books are definitely different. I was so upset when I spilled my drink! I had a pile of arcs next to it but luckily only “LIttle Fires” got wet. At least it was a clear liquid but the pages are still warped 😦
This is a fun tag, I hope you do it too!
